The Blue Board

And in terms of MMA its adds incredible power and range to kicks and punches and makes your take down defense and offense to a whole different level

As for snowboarding they do it for better balance for better balance makes for better style

You have to start at a beginners level. If you started with anything else liked advanced or above you would not be able to do the poses. That ish is bad ass. I did it for a while & got into the best shape of my life. I'm looking to get back into it because the benefits of yoga are endless. I used to be one of those guys that thought it was for women & believe me its anything but.

If you are a beginner, I dont think you would want to go into a hot room to learn, yoga is not as easy as a lot of people think it is. and takes years to master

This and I could never do yoga on my own cause I hate stretching so I do thai massage which is basically the same thing just with 1 or 2 people stretching you out with the combination of intense massage

Its a more expensive route but a great one nonetheless

This is why I did Thai Massage, they force you through the pain cause I couldn't handle it at first

I could barely touch my knees when I got into stretching and was pathetically out of shape in terms of flexibility

Thai Massage is not cheap but they will speed up your progression by leaps and bounds

You get to see good looking women..

I am about as cocky as anyone could possibly be about their fitness and athleticism, anytime I need a bit of humbling I just go do a yoga class. No matter how good you think your kinesthetic awareness or proprioception are, there will be some 70yr old ladies in the class doing stuff you couldn't dream of doing. It's just like anything else, you have to start off at ground zero with yoga.

Yeah the meditation comes from years and my dude explains it like its only possibly with total flexibility pretty much

something about the blood flow taking you into the state of meditation or some shit, he barely speaks english so its hard to understand exactly what he is talking about

All I know is I can't meditate at the level Im at according to him

exactly, thats why it seems foolish to me ( no offense to the thread) that people are teaching beginning yoga in a hot room, only in America will things like this be done.

holy shit you weren't kidding. My class was all girls(nice benefit) but they straight up kicked my ass. I tried using heavier weights but not by much. My shirt was drenching sweat. And I could barely do half the poses as those girls could do. I am going to make a habit of this. It absolutely kicked my butt

I consider myself pretty in touch w/ my feminine side, but c'mon guys. My wife does these things all the time. I see no good coming from it except for humiliating myself and really shweaty balls. In fact, she'll come home from the classes and be like, "but there were tons of guys in there!". My response, "Were they gay?" Her response, "Ya" and then she looks sheepishly away.

Although, I promised her that I'd go w/ her to any yoga class on our next anniversary. I will report back of my humiliation and shweaty balls.
